Imagine this, you're in a car accident and you are alright but you severely injured the person that you crashed into.

by some coincidence the dude you crashed into doesn't have a cell phone, cause who needs them, right? All the cars are passing by too fast and no one stops to help you and there are no phone booths around cause lets face it, phone booths practically don't exist anymore, what do you do?
